Listen "Outflanking the Enemy: How to Stand Firm in Spiritual Warfare"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textSpiritual warfare becomes real the moment you give your life to Christ. In this transparent conversation, Marcel and Erin Marie Burke share their contrasting spiritual journeys and the battles they've faced along the way.Marcel reveals his transformation from gang member to devoted follower of Christ, describing how he once mocked concepts like anxiety and depression as weakness, only to later experience them as spiritual attacks. Before his conversion, substance abuse numbed him to consequences and relationships. Now sober and walking with Christ, he faces spiritual battles that prove more challenging than anything in his former life.Erin Marie provides a different perspective, having grown up in a Christian household where she witnessed supernatural attacks from an early age. Her testimony contains a fascinating revelation: when she abandoned her faith as a teenager and pursued a worldly lifestyle, all spiritual warfare ceased. Only when she returned to Christ did the opposition resume—revealing how the enemy focuses attacks on those actively pursuing God's kingdom.The couple breaks down Ephesians 6:10-18, examining each piece of spiritual armor and highlighting that our protection comes not from our own strength but from Christ himself. They emphasize that prayer isn't merely a suggestion but a command, essential for standing firm against the enemy's schemes. Their most powerful insight? The spiritual armor provides no protection for our backs—because believers are never called to retreat, only to advance.Whether you were raised in church or came to faith later in life, this episode offers practical wisdom for recognizing and overcoming spiritual attack. Listen now to strengthen your spiritual defenses and move forward confidently in your faith journey.
